I live in Wisconsin and see help wanted signs literally everywhere, every day. That goes beyond bullshit service jobs that only high schoolers should take.

Being unemployed is a choice.

So you goto 20 interviews in Wisconsin and get rejected 20 times and that's your choice? Got it

Just admit it - you get excited and happy to see a story like that. You hate America and want it to fail :2 cents:
